some very good work, although Heyworth
threw ia, little of at times. O'Day
acceptable battery for the home team. 1t was
noticed during tine game that Dealy failed to throw
to second when trying to put out a runner The
ball always reached the base on the bounce This
apparently careless throwing is done by Manager

grounds was that by Hunt, of the colleg1anS 1t
went far over into the lethand corner of the fence
while Hunt made home, accompanied by cheers
and yellS from the audience. SchOck and Spencer
made fine running catches, and neat double
play was executed by Hines and Farrell. The
score was 10 to 3, and the Statesmen Won as
matter Of course
